Either way, I'm guessing electric trim and a CFI in the backseat helps with forward CG.
I'd suggest looking at the weight and balance for your specific aircraft. My FX-3 is at the forward CG limit with full fuel nothing in the baggage compartment. I normally fly solo and with not less than 15 lb in aft baggage. Not nose heavy and more than enough of elevator authority for 3 point landings.

The stock tail wheel configuration is more than adequate for gravel runways, and a lot worse.
